Paul Laurent was once the most respected sommelier in San Francisco, until a scandal destroyed his career.
Destitute and desperate, he applies for a lowly position at Rousseau Vineyards, the most prestigious estate in Napa Valley. The owner, Elena Rousseau, is not looking for an expert. She is a cold, exacting tyrant who sees Paul’s desperation as an opportunity.
She hires him not to taste wine, but to be her submissive plaything. Elena demands absolute perfection and total submission. What begins as a job to survive quickly descends into a rigorous training of body and mind. Under her strict hand, he discovers that true purpose lies not in leading, but in kneeling.
Will Paul break under the pressure, or will he embrace his new reality as the personal property of the Iron Lady of Napa?
